where can i get some cheap speaker wire

[AgEnT 10+ year member]

i am going to have to buy some more speaker wire for the inside of my box because my new subs will have dual voice coils so i will need some more speaker wire. my subs right now are single vc so i wont have enough speaker wire. does it matter what gauge the speaker wire from the subwoofers to the terminal is? i already have the speaker wire from the terminal to the amp, but i am wondering what kind of speaker wire i need to buy to put from the subwoofers to the terminals because it is much thinner. thanks for the help, might be a retarded question but need the help.

alright, so 12gauge is what i need for 2 12 kicker cvrs? i will have to wire the dual 2 ohm subwoofers to a 2 ohm load.

ha yea that sounds about right, is the speaker wire different then the one that goes from the amp to the terminal because on sonicelectronix they only have the ones that are connected.

u can use the same wire inside box and from the terminal to the amp.

you probably do NOT need a cap. Just explain to us what issues you are having that would cause you to believe that and we may be able to resolve them.

Home Depot normally has 12 guage for 50 cents a foot, so you don't have to buy in bulk...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Also I'd imagine any local shop will sell you the length you need. But as mentioned having extra on hand never hurts.
